Applications on things

How many things there are with images of cats, seals, kittens, etc. It’s impossible to even imagine, let alone actually calculate. And no wonder, because cats are favorite characters, friends and even family members for many of us. If you also want to get yourself a wardrobe item with the image of your favorite animal, then don’t hesitate - you can do it yourself!

The most popular ways to recreate a cat's image on clothes and other things are appliqué and drawing.

It is best to make appliques from dense materials that do not “crumble”, for example, from leather and leatherette, suede, felt; appliques can even be made from soft plastic, PVC, vinyl, and it is also convenient to manipulate raincoat fabric; cotton fabric behaves well and chintz.

Often you don’t even need to print a pattern or template - just adjust the size of the image on the screen (press the Ctrl key and roll the mouse wheel) and transfer the design onto thin paper or film directly from the monitor.

You can make a very simple applique, this one is well suited for children's things.

Or a little more complicated. Look how adorable they are!

If you choose a drawing, then, of course, it is optimal to execute it.

But no matter what you choose, the thing will turn out very cute - cats can’t help but make you happy. This is probably why designers and craftsmen of all kinds so often use this image in their works.

Inspiration is everywhere!

Interesting handbags.

For those who like it “hot”.

Cute and simple cats on children's things.

Cat hats and cat scarves are still very popular today.

There are also such cute socks.

Particularly diligent craftswomen do more painstaking work - knitting patterns using the jacquard technique.

Appliqués on fabric are needed not only for beauty, but also as patches on clothes. In order not to throw away an item that has a stain or a hole, you can simply cover the damaged area with a beautiful appliqué. The applique can be made of fabric, felt, leather, leatherette. Tip for appliqués made of fabric: to ensure that the fabric fits tightly and does not shrink during washing, you need to keep it in warm water and dry it with an iron.

Draw on paper. Transfer it to fabric and cut it out. Then choose a suitable location for the applique. Attach the figurine. Insert black thread into the sewing machine and use a herringbone stitch to stitch the applique to the fabric. If you don’t have a machine, you can sew it on by hand and overcast it. Next, use colored threads to embroider a bow, flowers and a skirt using satin stitch.

Felt applique.

Another felt applique.

Denim appliqués. They are glued with fabric glue and covered with a decorative seam.

Applique on a hand-sewn felt bag. Suitable for a pillow too. The flowers are made of chintz.

It's a good idea to make an applique on an old T-shirt. We cut out the applique, glue it with special fabric glue, and sew it with a decorative seam. You can glue beads, rhinestones to the applique, sew on buttons, or tie a bow from ribbons.

Applique on a T-shirt.

Embroidery

Using universal methods, you can improve almost everything. If you think that clothes are starting to lose their former shine or just want to learn how to decorate clothes yourself, then this master class will be for you.

Currently, clothes with images of cats and others are quite popular. There are many workshops that specialize in applying designs to any clothing. However, there is another way to decorate your item with the image of a cat. This does not require special technology. You can make a drawing with your own hands using threads, scissors and a needle. You don't have to be able to draw. We offer several options on how to decorate or simply update your blouse or turtleneck with a tempting cat face.

Simple option. Here it is enough to print out a sketch of a cat's head, then transfer it to cardboard and make a template. Place a piece of paper on the monitor and trace it, then cut it out.

Select a piece of fabric of the appropriate size. It is desirable that the fabric is pleasant to the touch, soft, and it is also worth choosing the color to match the blouse. Now we transfer the template to the fabric, outline it and cut it out. A cat's head made of fabric needs to be sewn on using a decorative seam.

You can decorate the cat's face with beads, nose, mouth and antennae if desired.

More complex option. To work you need to prepare:

  1. plain turtleneck or sweater
  2. contrasting color floss
  3. embroidery needle
  4. chalk or disappearing marker for drawing
  5. scissors

We apply a design to the blouse with a disappearing marker, draw eyes, a nose, a mouth and a mustache. Along the marked lines we embroider with a “back needle” stitch. It should look something like this:

Most often, it is women who associate themselves with these graceful creatures - cats. One way or another, the characters of both women and cats are different, so we try to find an image that is closer to ourselves. This especially applies to clothing. But don't dress up like Catwoman from the movie. It is enough to draw or embroider a beautiful face on your comfortable, but for some reason already boring jacket or T-shirt.

To work we will need:

  1. thing that we will decorate
  2. sequins
  3. beads (in this case one color)
  4. threads
  5. scissors
  6. pencil
  7. any piece of paper

One foreign craftswoman presented this master class on her blog. It turned out very cute and full of character. All you need to do is draw the details on paper: the cat's eyes and nose, and cut them out from a sheet of paper.

Then we draw a pencil on the blouse, maintaining symmetry.

The last stage is the embroidery itself. We tie a knot on the thread, bring the needle from the wrong side to the front part, string a sequin, a bead, again pass the needle through the sequin and go out to the wrong side almost a millimeter from the place where we started. Then we bring the needle out from the edge of the first sequin and repeat the operation. In this way we embroider the entire outline of the design.

As a result, we get a nice new thing, a little romantic, a little strict - it will suit almost all clothing styles.

And the most important thing is that we made the T-shirt decor with our own hands! A cute cat's face embroidered with sequins will always be with us.

To work you need to prepare:

  1. black fabric paints
  2. flesh-colored or light-colored nylon stockings
  3. pencil
  4. thick sheet of paper

On thick paper you need to draw a sketch of the cat’s face: eyes, nose and antennae, don’t forget about the ears. It is important to take into account the size of the kneecap. We slightly fold the sheet with the sketch and put the stocking on it, then, according to the sketch, we outline the stocking with paint. You get these wonderful little faces on each knee.

In order to accomplish this, you don’t need a lot of time, materials, and you don’t have to strain your imagination too much. Look how simple it is! In order to express strong affection for your pet, you need to:

  1. plain t-shirt
  2. special or regular acrylic fabric paints
  3. sponge brush
  4. duct tape
  5. scissors

First, we “draw” the plot using adhesive tape. Make sure that the tape fits very tightly to the fabric, otherwise the paint may leak under it and the design will be sloppy.

After this, apply paint using a sponge brush. You can, like here, in a chaotic order, or you can repeat the contours of the drawing or “sculpt” another shape with strokes, for example, make the cat’s face into a square, for which you need to glue more strips of tape in advance or do it by eye.

The paint needs to dry thoroughly before you remove the tape. You need to dry it, avoiding direct sunlight and away from heating devices.

At the end of the whole process, you will end up with an original T-shirt like this or even better. And, the cat probably understands everything, so he will appreciate such attention.

There is a lot of yarn left of different colors, but the same texture. Where should it be used? Why not make all kinds of appliques (crochet)?

Where can I use pictures from a linked application?

Everything will depend on the chosen topic. Cars and animals are useful for decorating faceless children's clothing. But flowers or figures of girls in chic dresses are suitable for those who are older. They will look good on a handbag or blouse.

There is another option - to connect several identical elements, and then the applique will become a rectangular napkin. Those who have sufficient experience will be able to connect them to form a circle.

"Machine"

It consists of four parts: a body, two wheels and a headlight. Knitting the appliqué (crocheted) begins with the largest part - the body. The size of the finished machine will depend on the initial chain. Let there be 27 air loops in it.

First row: two lifting loops, one double crochet in each loop of the cast-on chain.

In the second, there will be three lifting loops and double crochets at all vertices except the second.

Third row: three loops, two double crochets from the second and fourth vertices. At the end of the row, do not knit a stitch from the penultimate loop, and make the last two with one vertex.

Fourth row: three loops, in all vertices of the previous one.

Fifth: chain stitch, 4 single crochets, 15 chain stitches, connecting to the last stitch of the row.

The last row of the body (in direction is a continuation of the previous one): an air loop, connecting posts along the trunk, bottom and hood of the future car; At the beginning of a long chain of loops, make a single crochet, on the arch - 12 double crochets, then another single crochet.

The second part of the applique (crocheted) is the wheel. That is, there should be two of them. On a ring of three loops, tie 6 connecting posts. The second circle consists of 12 such columns, that is, there should be two of them in each loop. In the last round, alternation is performed: one column from one loop, two columns from one loop.

The third part is the headlight. It knits like a wheel, only you need to stop after the first row.

"Young woman"

This idea can be taken into account if there is a girl in the family. Modification of this applique (crochet) is allowed. Skirt patterns can be anything. To do this, just knit part of a round napkin.

One example of a girl is shown in the figure.

"Cat"

They can be made in different sizes and colors, and you get a real cat family. Such crocheted appliqués are useful for decorating girls’ clothes.

You should start with 26 loops - this will be the basis for the cat’s paws and tummy. The first 9 loops are the back leg: in the second loop from the hook, single crochet, connecting, 6 single crochet.

On the next stitch, then double crochet. At its top, cast on a chain of 14 loops. Tie them with connecting posts, there should be 12 of them, and the last one must be tied in the first loop of the chain. This is a tail that will need to be sewn on, bending it with a question mark.

Then the back of the cat will be knitted. Double crochet - in the same base where the one that became the basis for the ponytail was. In the next loop, then in one - two stitches with three crochets. In the next one there are two: one with two yarn overs, the second with one. Continue with a double crochet and a connecting stitch in one loop.

Continuation of the applique (crochet) in knitting a cat's head. On one loop, knit: 5 chain stitches, a connecting stitch on it in the second, a single crochet in the third chain; two double crochets; 2 air ones, with a connecting post on them; double crochet stitch; 2 air and connecting to the loop of the base of the head.

All that remains is to knit the front leg. On the last 9 loops of the initial chain, knit: 6 single crochets, connecting, single crochet, connecting.

"Tulip"

This is one of those patterns that can be used to create napkins. These are appliqués (crocheted), the patterns of which can be easily modified. For example, make a bud larger or smaller, change the size of the leaves.

One of the flower diagram options is shown in the figure.

"Caterpillar"

Such appliqués (crocheted) will be useful for boys and girls. In the first case, you can put a cap on her head, and she will turn into a military man or policeman. For a girl, you can decorate the applique with a bouquet of small flowers.

The entire caterpillar consists of seven circles. The largest one is the body, the smaller one will go on the head. Four even smaller sizes will be needed for the neck and tail. Another smallest one will be useful for the tip of the tail.

All circles are knitted according to the same principle: on a ring of 4 loops, make 10 connecting stitches. In the second round, add 4 stitches evenly. You should stop at this point when knitting circles for the tail and neck.

To make the body, continue knitting. In the third circle, evenly increase the number of stitches by 6. The fourth circle should be further expanded by 6-8 loops. The tip of the ponytail is knitted similarly to these circles, only you need to cast on 3 loops, there should be 7 stitches, and in the second row add 5 loops.

When knitting the head, you need to make small changes to the second row. In the places where the cheeks will be located, it is necessary to make single crochets.

Sew all the parts together. Then tie the antennae. They are the same circles as the tip of the tail, and are attached to the head with air chains of 5-6 loops.

Completing the applique (crochet) for children's clothing is to tie the body of the caterpillar and make its legs. Fasten the yarn at the junction of the head and neck. Work three connecting stitches, 5 double crochets in two stitches, another 5 double crochets in the first two stitches of the body. Four connecting posts to the first leg. Leg: 7 chain stitches, close a ring from the last 3, tie 6 double crochets on them, tie the leg with connecting stitches. Two connecting posts - and one more foot. Six connecting ones - and a paw, so on all circles of the tail. Simply tie the tip of the ponytail with connecting posts.
